Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam

In a dream it is a man who keeps himself apart, who enjoins what is wrong and forbids what is right, of no repute; and the gecko is a slanderous, oppressive person who spreads corruption among people.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 371

(And whoever sees) that he has caught a gecko, then he will encounter a man of that sort.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 371

(And whoever sees) that he has eaten the flesh of a gecko, then he is backbiting a person and slandering him.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 371

(And whoever sees) that the gecko has eaten of his flesh, then that is a person who is backbiting him. The gecko indicates an enemy who openly speaks evil, and moving about from place to place.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, p. 371

Ibn Shahin al-Zahiri, al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat

As for the gecko, it is interpreted as a weak enemy, a slanderous tale-bearer who spreads corruption among people. So whoever sees that he has obtained something of it, then he will encounter a person of that sort. There is no good at all in seeing the gecko—no sufficient good—nor in what it does, nor in what is done to it, of whatever kind it may be.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 223

attributed to Ibn Sirin, Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam

(The gecko) is a misguided, obscure man who enjoins what is wrong and forbids what is right.
